Yet Beautiful Boy is that rare cinematic artifact, a film that purports to be about one thing (in this case, addiction), but when you scrape away the surface dazzle, is really about everything.&dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

The life and work of the associate justice of the US Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (aka "the notorious RBG") is the subject of this dense, inspiring and often playful panegyric. &dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

With its close focus on Charlie and on her hardworking mother (Pamela Adlon), it makes a cogent and timely argument for enlivening tired male properties with a female-focused narrative.&dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

The deftly captured footage of Honnold's preparation with ropes (he falls often), and his execution without, is consistently difficult to watch without flinching. I barely exhaled for the duration of the film.&dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

There are fleeting pleasures to be had here in Brexit-era parallels...but too soon the movie returns to deadening clichés (a doomsday weapon! A plucky band of rebels!), blank-faced performances and truly horrible line-readings. &dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

[Davis] seems unable to deliver substandard work and is here fabulously controlled as a grieving widow, a wannabe criminal, a heartbroken mother, an obsessive dog lover and a woman who will shoot you right through the chest if she has to. Great fun.&dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

The film is competent, disturbing and even, whisper it, propulsive. In a way that no film about the real and recent murder of 69 children and their summer camp helpers should ever be.&dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

The life and career of the groundbreaking rocker Joan Jett gets the dreary documentary treatment as the director Kevin Kerslake marches obediently through her career...with nothing less than wide-eyed adoration.&dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

The film, a feature debut for its production designer, Charles Garrad, is a torpid trial, putting so much slow into slow burn that the fire of curiosity eventually extinguishes itself. &dash; Times (UK) - EDIT

The Sunday Times war correspondent Marie Colvin gets the prestige biopic treatment in a film that boasts a fearless performance from its star, Rosamund Pike, and yet is undercut at every turn by a risible and self-defeating screenplay. &dash; Times (UK) - EDIT
